Zou Shiming 2nd pro fight purse $500,000

lol yeah we will have so many exciting 100 pounders! I'd rather have an actual fight as an HBO main event, not a 4 rounder lmao Especially getting paid that much atleast do a whole fight like damn. It wasn't an HBO main event you dingus, it was a main event in China that HBO showed on tape delay. It cost them nothing to show a big event in boxing that was happening anyway. Also nice casual racism. Have you even met anyone from China? They're not all 100 pounds you know.

He will earn $500,000 for his second pro fight in a six rounder. http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/490100/20130715/zou-shiming-manny-pacquiao-brandon-rios-welterweights.htm#.UeNGhj7h5O5 Two-time Olympic gold medalist Zou Shiming will reportedly earn a huge payday in only his second fight as a professional boxer. Zou, who's easily the most successful amateur boxer from China after bagging three world championships and two Olympic gold medals at light flyweight category, is reportedly set to pocket around $500,000 for either four-round and six-round contest in the undercard of Manny Pacquiao-Brandon Rios clash at Venetian Macao in Macau, China in November. The 32-year old Zou is coming off a successful pro debut last April after scoring a unanimous decision victory over unheralded Mexican fighter Eleazar Valenzuela. However, many analysts are not impressed with what they saw in Zou, who just boxed his way around against the inexperience Valenzuela in four rounds. Chris Williams of Boxing News 24 even believes Zou is going to have a hard time if he is matched up against a decent fighter in his division. Though he accomplished a lot as an amateur boxer, Zou doesn't have the tools to thrive in the more brutal nature of professional boxing. The Chinese lacks a solid go-to combination and has no power in both hands, making him an easy prey to other light flyweight contender. Hence, it's more jarring to learn that Zou would be receiving more than other world champions earned in a 12-round contest. One reason for this is that Zou is going to be Top-Rank's marketing machine in China, which could bring the promotional outfit millions of dollars due to the countries one billion market. $500,000 in China is a boat load of money people are paid $5 a day

I dunno why some people hate the guy. His performance was fine for his first debut, showed good footwork and defense and was constantly tagging his opponent, only problem I see is punching technique on his hooks are very wide and loop to the back of the head. The guy loves boxing and has said he wants to bring the sport alive in China and make it more popular, hoping more athletes start to aim for the professional stage. He earns so much because he was a hero of China before he even turned pro, whereas other professionals (Pacquaio etc) became legends in there country via the professional stage and not before. Either way, as it stands right now he's good for boxing and seems to be a cool guy.

:lol1: They'd rather watch Hopkins fight-clinch Murat on a major network for pennies :lol1: A 48 year old legend> A 32 year old bum with one fight

Zou Shiming is one of the best things to happen to boxing since Manny Pacquiao. It's a good thing he is so successful. You all should be happy that one of the biggest countries in the world is starting to pay attention to boxing. If even 1% of China's athletes take an interest in what Shiming accomplishes it means more incoming talent for the sport. lol yeah we will have so many exciting 100 pounders!
